Website Dubs Mercy a 'College of Distinction'

Representatives from Mercy College published the following release Wednesday: 

Mercy College is among a select group of colleges and universities nationwide to be named a College of Distinction by CollegesofDistinction.com, an online guide that profiles America’s best colleges that excel in key educational areas, including engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities and successful outcomes.

The goal of CollegesofDistinction.com is to provide prospective students, guidance counselors, and parents with information about colleges and universities that excel in these four areas. Featured schools take a holistic approach to admissions, consistently excel in providing high-quality education and have a national reputation.

"Mercy College is honored to be named a College of Distinction," says Andy Person, Executive Director of Student Success and Engagement. "At Mercy College, we offer an affordable, high-quality education and a wide variety of activities. Our students and faculty are engaged in ways that enrich their lives and their community."

According to Tyson Schritter, the executive editor of CollegesofDistinction.com, "Schools selected as Colleges of Distinction create well-rounded graduates and are among the very best in the country. While each school is one of a kind, they all share a common theme: they are all a great place to get an education."
